I have always favored Continental dishes than Mediterranean whenever I go out, and Italian Dishes are appreciated more than any other...well, aside from Filipino Cuisine of course, that being my native land.
But whenever I cook at home I try to serve differently each time. If I can make it one country after another cycle in a weeks time I would. And the secret lies in the seasonings, herbs and spices available in the market that gives you the distinct taste of a certain countries cuisine. Like the basil, thyme, rosemarie for continental; and curry, taragon, cumin for mediterranean. Filipino dishes are the easiest to cook since I can have the necessary salt free herbs and spices available just around the corner.
How easy it is to cook these days than before, with all the commercialized ready-to-cook meals or the sauces and mixes available to go along with our fast paced life. Well, cooking is art and I'm sure we can have the colors we want to come up with the splendid canvass (or food for this matter!)
